From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011013 BuildID: 200101312 when presented with a menu (similar to the one in bugzilla-helper to select Operating System or Platform, although this behavior is not evident here) mouse-click won't select. specifically, i noticed the problem in a mozilla window that an application spawns with the menu to login. mouse click will not highlight choice or allow selection. i couldn't find an external page on which to reproduce this, except for another internal URL which has the same problem. running under sparc-sun-solaris2.8. Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce Expected Results: able to select the choice from the menu.
please note that the bug is evident only when selecting text from a preset menu in a mozilla window that is spawned by a page, link or application. selecting items from preset menus, such as those in bugzilla-helper, works just fine.
i forgot to mention that in previous releases of mozilla that I've used, such as 0.9.3 and 0.9.4, the bug was not evident, selection behaved as expected.
Could you attach one of the web pages that shows the problem here? Its difficult to fix a bug if its not reproducible.
Here is source from the page. So basically one clicks a link, a new browser window pops up. (doesn't have the menu bar, bookmarks, etc.) The new window contains a pull-down menu and two boxes, one in which to type username and the other in which to type password. the problem is with the pull down menu. it is impossible to select any of the choices using the mouse or any other method. there are four logins from which to choose. so, yes, there is something there to select this abnormal behavior was not present in mozilla 0.9.4. i'm sorry i can't provide more info, the page itself is on the company's internal website. i've been trying to find other pages on the web that might display this behavior with mozilla 0.9.5, but i've been unsuccessful. the fact that it worked in all previous versions i have tested might help narrow the search for the bug, if indeed that is what this is. <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title>TeamSite</title> <script LANGUAGE="Javascript"> <!-- var pw_login_live = true; var pw_browser_is_live = true; var pw_query_string = ""; if (location.search.length != 0) { pw_query_string = location.search.substring(1, location.search.length); } function pw_null() { } if (navigator.platform == "Win16") { var load_win16 = "/iw/start_win16.html"; if (pw_query_string != "") { load_win16 += "?" + pw_query_string; } top.location.href = load_win16; } // --> </SCRIPT> </head> <frameset ROWS="100%,*,*,*" FRAMESPACING=0 BORDER=0 FRAMEBORDER="no" onLoad="top.Ctl.pw_loginstart();"> <frame SRC="loginframe.html" NAME="TopFrame" SCROLLING=no FRAMEBORDER="no" MARGINHEIGHT=1 MARGINWIDTH=1 NORESIZE> <frame SRC="tsdriver.html" NAME="Ctl" SCROLLING=no FRAMEBORDER="no" MARGINHEIGHT=1 MARGINWIDTH=1 NORESIZE> <frame SRC="blank.html" NAME="Scratch" SCROLLING=no FRAMEBORDER="no" MARGINHEIGHT=1 MARGINWIDTH=1 NORESIZE> <frame SRC="blank.html" NAME="Scratch2" SCROLLING=no FRAMEBORDER="no" MARGINHEIGHT=1 MARGINWIDTH=1 NORESIZE> </frameset> </html>
Chris, that source is just a top-level frameset.... the source of the frames would be needed to actually go anywhere with this bug... Could you save the page as "HTML, Complete", zip it up, and attach it to this bug using http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?bugid=105187&action=enter ?
Reporter, do you still see the problem? If so, please produce a testcase. pi
No response. Chris, if you can still reproduce the problem, please attach a simple testcase to this bug, and re-open it. Thanks.
